The Planning Board took care of routine business and approved a site plan application for a new apartment building in Springvale during two meetings in January.

The apartments at 16 Summer St., behind the former Lincoln School, are on land formerly owned by Nasson College. Plans call for 18 units, parking spaces and other site improvements. Planners last spring approved the renovation of former Nasson dormitories nearby.

During a work session on Jan. 22, the board reviewed the process for evaluating future projects at Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport. Airport Manager Allison Navia gave the board an update of the Airport Ultimate Layout Plan. It includes future airport improvements that will add to safety and growth of the airport, keeping fuel trucks and vehicles off active runways. Some of these improvements are expected within five years and others could be up to 20 years in the future.

On Jan. 8, the board elected officers: Tom Morgan as chair, Crystal Tenny as vice chair, and Lenny Horr as secretary. Mark Yerkes and Samuel Vanderwater were approved as additions to the Design Review Committee.
